What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA

IF YOU HAVE A NOTICE TO QUIT, DO YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY RENT I READ SOMEWHERE THAT IF THE LANDLORD ACCEPTS THE RENT THEN HE IS BREAKING THE AGREEMENT AND WANTS THE TENANT TO STAY. BUT I BELIEVE THAT WAS FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS AND I'M IN CALIFORNIA. THE PERSON WHO IS RENTING THE HOUSE IS A CHAIN SMOKER AND SOME OF THE WALLS ARE YELLOW WHEN THEY SHOULD BE WHITE, THEY HAVE ALSO PUT A COUPLE OF HOLES IN THE WALLS AND BROKEN A COUPLE OF DOORS, BUT THIS WAS IN PAST YEARS THIS YEAR, THE PERSON HAS DONE NOTHING BUT BREAK A FEW CHEAP LIGHT SWITCH COVERS THAT CAN EASLY BE REPLACED, SHE ALSO NEEDS TO GET HER CARPET CLEANED AND WALLS PAINTED AND THAT'S ABOUT IT.. WHEREAS THE LANDLORD HAS KNOWN FOR MONTHS THAT THE BATHROOM SINK IS NOT WORKING DUE TO THE PIPES NOT BEING PUT ON RIGHT. THE SHOWER IS LIKING AND THE WATER IS COMING UP FROM UNDER IT TO THE HALL WAY WHICH IS ALWAYS SOAKED IN WATER, THE WINDOWS ALWAYS COME OFF TRACK ONE FELL ON SOMEONE AND COULD OF KILLED THEM IT WAS OUT FOR OVER A YEAR BEFORE THEY GOT FED UP AND PUT SOME CARD BOARD UP! THERE IS A WINDOW JUST SITTING THERE NOW THAT CAN FALL ANY MINUTE ON SOMEONE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THAT THEY WON'T FIX ALONG WITH OTHER THINGS NOT TENANT RELATED... WHAT CAN THIS PERSON DO AS FAR AS RENT IS CONCERNED :confused:

by the way the person getting evicted is on section 8 and is mentally ill if that matters and this all stems for the yearly section 8 inspection the landlord didn't even attempt to make repairs or let the tenant make them. just served an eviction notice.

The notice you received, is to get the heck out of the property. So you pay no rent and you destroy the homeowners home?

Your now here asking if you need to pay rent? Let's make this a simple question.....................DO YOU STILL RESIDE IN HIS HOME? There is your answer, and God Bless anyone who rents to you again.

Ummm :rolleyes: it's not me and destroyed is not even the issue all damages that were made prior years have been fixed poorly but fixed.. like i said it is a mentally ill person living on section 8.. and they have never been late on their rent and do not owe any rent! Futhermore all major repairs need to be done to the apartment or through no fault of the occupant they don't cause the windows to fall off track and fall and break on their heads! they do not cause the pipes under the hall way to leak soaking the carpet, they do not cause the pipes on the bathrrom sink to leak causing mildew and mold to develope ....amoung many other things that need to be done ... all they cause was a couple of light switch fixures to break which or like 5 for a $1 at the 99cent store and the walls need to be painted due to excessive smoking! period point blank the problems the tenant caused or minimal compared to what the landlord doesn't want to fix.

The question is does he/she deserve rent the person is more than willing to move within the 60 days but they obviously aren't rich and don't have the money for deposit and first months rent especially with the landlord giving the eviction notice a week before rent is due!

Today the person who rents was leaning over the bathtub to wash their hands after using the restroom like they have been doing for the last year due to the sink not working and slip and fell and injured thier knee... is the landlord liable for doctor bills?

Its a 3-day notice

SadVictim you sound like the tenant?

You are required to pay rent as instructed on the 3-day notice within 3-days, after that date the landlord does not have to accept any rent you offer and can begin a victory tap dance with the thought he has got rid of a filthy tenant.

The tenant will be evicted by the court system because of the rent not paid, the landlord can on a latter separate claim can claim damages to the unit and all rent owed.

If he accepts rent and cashes the check after the 3-days are up then he will not be able to evict at that time.

Who ever the landlord is he should pray the tenant does not pay on time.

If the tenant thinks they can bitch about conditions as a reason not to pay the judge will probably yawn and still evict.

No it's not me but i know what you mean about the jig the person is mentally ill and i'm sick of giving them money for first and last month rent this will be the 3rd time.. i'll probably have to start paying someone to come clean every wek or other week cause the person is mentally ill and obviously doesn't grasp what they are doing...anyway

:confused: so they should wait until they recieve a 3 day notice and if they don't they shouldn't pay rent i plan to have them out by the middle of the month i'm in the process of getting everything ready for them to move now so what happens if they get a 3 day notice and they have already moved out do they still have to go to court?

Who are you in this situation? Why are you giving them money for the 3rd time?

None the less, you have received your answer.

It still sounds like you are talking of yourself.

You sound like a schizophrenic......

You owe rent for every single day you occupy plus court costs even if you are kicked out.

If you get evicted you can tack on an extra $500-$600 for the eviction costs more if you contest which you are liable to pay.

If you get served a 3-day notice only and leave, the owner can tack $60-$100 on to your bill, when he sues for rent owed.

There are no angles to this, stop blowing money on crack, just pay the rent owed otherwise it can get expensive for you when court costs are added.

Okay well lol I sound like the person and a crack addict okay whatever you say :rolleyes: did you even read the post no money is due or has ever been due so what are you even talking about...what a jackass did you think it would sound cool or what to say that? what was the point of that! Lmao :rolleyes: Lame!

Yes i have recieved my answer somewhat but you have also confused me.... the person hasn't recieved a 3 day notice because she owes no rent her rent is always paid in full and on time...the rent is not due yet and she has told me she isn't going to pay it. I don't want her to get in any trouble so that's why i need to know if she's required to pay it. So i guess you all are saying if she doesn't pay rent then she will get a 3 day notice and she might end up oweing more than rent was due so her best bet is just to pay it. Not that it matters but The person is a family member and is there even a question when someone is in need you should help them especially if they are sick. :(

I didn't read my entire first post but just incase anyone thought it was a 3 day notice it wasn't it was 60 day notice and it has nothing to due with rent or any money due!

First you say:IF YOU HAVE A NOTICE TO QUIT, DO YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY RENT

Then you say: so they should wait until they recieve a 3 day notice and if they don't they shouldn't pay rent

Then you say:no money is due or has ever been due so what are you even talking about...

Then you say: the rent is not due yet and she has told me she isn't going to pay it. I don't want her to get in any trouble so that's why i need to know if she's required to pay it.

Your a weird one you make out you have not paid your rent and ask should you wait for a notice to quit which implys you have not paid your rent, then you state you do not owe anything and ask what I am talking about and finish up by asking if someone is required to pay rent..

Shut the Fu@@ up

Please stay of the crack pipe and if you are going to post a question stop changing direction you sound like an idiot and I feel like an idiot answering an idiots question

silmilar situation in Florida

Sadvictim. you sound like you could be a relative of the tenant that I'm getting rid of; mentally ill and on section 8. You should have given a few more details in your initial posting. My interpretation of your situation: the LL gave your relative a 60 day notice to quit because they didn't want to renew her lease and/or just wanted her OUT. Depending on how the lease was written, this is all legal. As I tried to explain to my tenant, just paying the rent doesn't make you a good tenant. Sitting around watching tv for 3 hours while water gushes out from the hot water heater flooding the crawl space because your husband was too stupid to turn the valve of and then saying, I called and left you a message ...... yea, I want you the he!! out of my house.

Sorry back to you're relative. The LL wants her out, giving her a 60 day notice is to let her know she has to move. She still owes her rent for the time she is there and the LL accepting it does not negate the eviction. That would only be so if it were a pay or quit notice because she hadn't paid her rent and then she paid within the time period. If she does not pay when her rent is due, then he will/should give her a pay or quit notice and could make her leave sooner then the 60 days. I'm in FL and a LL can get someone out in a couple of weeks for not paying, I understand it's a lot longer on the other side.

So it's up to you and her, pay and at least get the 60 days or not pay and leave sooner with more expenses and it might effect her ability to get section 8 later and even if she doesn't give this LL as a reference, when the next LL does a check, it will should reveal that she has had an eviction for nonpayment that went to court. This eviction should not be a court case if she pays for all the time she does stay there AND leaves when she's supposed to.

Hope that helped

I won't even address the poster before you some people just like to think they are smarter than they are and make complete fools out of themselves!

Jpony You got what i was saying exactly right thank you.. i'll make sure she pays her rent for this month. and try and have her moved by the 20th.

Do you (or anyone) know if she still has to give a 30 day notice and if she moves out on the 20th will she owe rent for May I read somewhere that if the apartment isn't ready to rent by the next month the person owes rent for that month.. should 10 days be enough?
